was also featured on the Digital
Divide Network's web page.

The Santa CruzSentinel featured front-page coverage
of postdoctoral researcher Phil Howard's survey of consumers

Citizen and others about the survey. His work will be written
up in the March issue of Sustainable Industries Journal,
and Howard will appear on KUSP's Talk of the Bay program
on Wednesday, February 2.
